Are You An Attention Whore?

Sometimes I get so tired of people telling me there is no work out there. Because recently I heard of this really nice website called Craigslist where you can get some totally great work in the lucrative world of TV no less - short hours, great pay and you don't just have to look like Heidi Klum. I actually applied to Craigslist to be a translator for some of their adverts [see pink translations about what job actually requires]. For some reason they turned me down.

So what are you waiting for, log on to Craigslist and find yourself a lucrative part time income. [These are all real Craigslist current postings]:

Tall curvy women wanted for video work £130 for 5 hours work

Tall curvy women wanted for part time video work by amateur cameraman.Size 10 to 14, aged 18 to 40. No experience required. No sale or publication of work. Private project. Eye masks provided for your privacy. £130 cash payment for 5 hours work.Quick response for those replying with photos and contact number.

Eye mask provided so you can be driven to an unknown location and made to do wierd things with root vegetables. For cameraman read 'I just bought my first digital camera yesterday and am desperate to try it out.'

"Natural" Ladies Required for Solo Modelling Work (UK Nationwide)

UK ladies aged 18-45 are required for paid, solo female, men's magazine style work. Breasts don't have to be large, but must be natural. Must also be completely natural in the knicker region (i.e. un-shaved and un-trimmed), or would be prepared to "grow back" for the shoot. The photos are for a specialist "natural" company in the States. First-timers and girl next-door types especially welcome.

Must be prepared to sprinkle Miracle Gro onto private parts if necessary.

Tall or large shoe size girls for modeling (West London)

This is a great opportunity for some nice part time work, girls only. The requirement is that you are tall 5'10"or above, or have large shoe size 8, 9 or 10 UK or even larger is fine. Ideally you would have both requirements matched. The work is mainly leg and shoe/foot modelling and is good pay per hour.

Watch out this is a scam. They say they will take anyone but if you are a midget with sensationally large feet they may send you packing. Could make money from suing for big footed midget discrimination.

Male and ticklish? (London)

We are looking for men between 18 and 40 to participate in an unusual video production. This is a project about men's ticklishness and will include a short interview followed by a session where the candidate will be tickled. To be clear, this is not a porn production - and there will not be nudity - this is just a fun, but unusual, project to establish how ticklish ordinary guys in London really are and how they respond to being tickled. Please contact us, with a recent photo of yourself, for futher details. Compensation: £100 for about 1 hour participation

Um, I am pretty sure 'tickling' must be a euphemism for appearing tarred and feathered wearing a ball gag in a movie but maybe this is just the cynic in me talking. If you are more trusting than me why not give them a call and see if they are just friendly guys who enjoy paying £100 just for the heck of tickling some sweaty old guy. Or not.

EAT NON-FOOD ITEMS?

The producers of "The Biggest Loser" are casting a new eating disorder docu-series for major network.

Do you have an addiction to chalk or soap? Are you constantly craving non-nutritional items?

Do you find yourself eating non-food things and you don't know why?

If so tell us you story.

If selected, you will receive compensation and FREE treatment for telling your story.

I was extremely tempted by this except the only non-food item I eat are my cuticles. But if you regularly find yourself nibbling on your bathroom rug and your husband has told you enough is enough or if you bite the heads off pigeons then this could very well be an opportunity to be on TV and have all your colleagues laugh at you. It will also lead to the breakdown of your marriage and prevent you from ever getting a job again as the video of you sniffing underarm deoderants (or whatever your addiction is) goes viral on youtube. Other than that Go For It!
